Line Editing
Line editing, also known as language editing, is a deep dive into your document. Here, I work through the text line by line to clarify meaning, ensure coherence and flow at the
sentence level, and refine the language. I change only what is required to improve clarity while retaining the author's voice. The result is a document that satisfies the needs of the target audience and is cohesive, fluid, and logically organized.
Copy Editing
My goal when copy editing is to ensure that your piece of writing is clear, correct, accurate, and consistent. I look at the big and the small picture: not only do I fix grammar, spelling, and punctuation mistakes, but I also make sure that your document aligns with applicable style sheets or style guides. I make sure to retain the author's tone and voice while allowing the text to flow smoothly.
Proofreading
As the final step before publication, proofreading takes care of any remaining errors in your document. Here is where I fix the remaining spelling and punctuation mistakes, typos, and minor inconsistencies.
Formatting
For the perfectly formatted document, I ensure that your document looks as well as it reads. Formatting can be finicky and time-consuming, so let me take care of the details with this fully customizable service. Common options include: creating cover pages, adding page numbers, generating a dynamic table of contents, adding captions, and applying consistent fonts, spacing, and margins.
